Black Sea grain deal dies

18th July 2023

Yesterday morning I was casually watching the Government Broadcasting Corporation (CBC) and I saw an interview with Iula Joja from Prague, currently with the Institute of the Black Sea Program and previously with The NATO Allied Command Transformation (whatever that is – based in Virginia, USA I understand) talking about the Ukraine shipments of grain through the black sea no longer being protected by Russia.

Of course, everything was blamed on the Kremlin and Putin, with no reflection on the reason for the agreement of ships carrying Ukrainian grain in the first place.  The original plan was that grain should be delivered to those countries in desperately need of that grain – African countries – not the wealthy European counties.  However only 2.5% of these exports went to Africa and extreme hunger even starvation continued unabated there with no concern from Europe or of course the USA or Canada.

The second reason for the arrangement was of course financial. If the cost of any raw product goes up for any reason (scarcity being one of them) then that cost must be passed on (basic corporate profit motive) and the fear of increased prices to Europeans was more important than the starvation of millions of Africans. The fact that Europe was shooting itself in the foot financially with sanctions imposed on both Russia and itself was immaterial.

Since the main reason for the agreement was not being met, and anyway shipments now are being made by rail and road through Poland – to “wealthy” European countries – what was the point of continuing with the Black Sea agreement?

No real reason, but of course blame for everything had to be laid at Russia’s door. I wonder sometimes how facts today are not really facts because even black and white can be made to be white and black.  Truth is hard to recognize even though it appears to be so rare, and prejudiced opinions are everywhere – (including here it appears though I do try and look at both sides) – and with the coming rise of AI it will become impossible to get to the truth. 

I wonder what happened to the concept of logic.  I fear it went away with the lack of actually talking to one another over a table instead of texting.

David Eby calls banners over B.C. highway ‘hateful’ and ‘reprehensible’

Canadian Press    Jun 22, 2023 5:04 PM

“RICHMOND, B.C. — British Columbia Premier David Eby says “hateful” banners aimed at transgender people that have hung for months over one of the province’s highways are “reprehensible” and he wishes the protesters involved would “go home.”

The premier’s comments come more than a month after a B.C. Supreme Court judge granted the government an injunction banning signs or gatherings in the area around the Mountain Highway Overpass over Highway 1 in North Vancouver.

The signs have included messages saying “gender ideology = child sex grooming” and “no child is ever born in the wrong body.”

Eby said he had concerns about safety as well as the nature of the protest.

“The content of the protest, obviously, it’s quite hateful. It’s really, in my opinion, seeking to divide British Columbia and to foment division and hatred in our province,” Eby said at an unrelated news conference on Thursday.”

It appears that anything that the “government” and it’s rabid supporters decides is the truth is the only way we can behave.

In the entire animal kingdom, in which we are a very poor example of trust, honour or behavour, there are two sexes…female and male.  In all animal kingdom there are some animals that exhibit traits of the opposite sex but only humans have taken this to the extreme of actually teaching their young to question their own ability to be a boy or a girl and to call that grooming.   It is bad enough that we have for years been feeding them a bovine growth hormone, heavily altered and tainted, in the form of cow’s milk, now we are allowing, no actually encouraging teachers of the very young to sow confusion into their minds as to what they are.  “But teacher I think I am really a dog”

Why did the LGB crowd allow the other iterations to join their banner?   Or maybe why did they allow themselves as practicing same sex lovers to be aligned with the queer community which contains so many variations it is mind boggling: LGBTQIA2S+ .  Does this include those who think they are horses and gather to wear bridles and saddles and a tail stuck in their rectums?  Can you imagine a horse wearing cowboy boots?

What this all boils down to in my mind is that we are being fed a constant line of BS to keep us away from questioning what is actually being done to us.  Parents can no longer parent and protect their children from predator teachers and school boards and are being kept in the dark about their child’s education anyway.

Religion, which was once a relatively honourable way to live, is now an excuse for hate, and government propaganda and lies has divided this country like nothing before and it is only getting worse.

Those in power call Canada a sovereign and democratic country and it is neither, but the public pretends it is because we are told so.  We have just celebrated another national birthday with the least fanfare I can remember since I have been here and no one seems to have noticed.

The country burns and there seems to be more concern about the dangers of smoke than there is about the actual cause of the fires. I still see people throwing cigarette buts from their car windows.

What has this got to do with the LGBTQIA2S+ crowd? Not much really but small examples of what is being hidden in plain sight.  

Go, Eby, go with your sleight of hand and double speak, after all mental health decline should follow the physical health deprivation you are promoting.

Canada :  Asleep in NATO

The Epoch Times

By Peter Wilson

“Prime Minister Justin Trudeau says Canada will push for Ukraine to be admitted into the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) at a summit this week in Latvia where member countries will weigh the possibility of admitting Ukraine into the treaty organization.

“We feel very strongly that Ukraine should be joining NATO as soon as conditions allow,” Mr. Trudeau told reporters in Adazi, Latvia, on July 10 as he and Defence Minister Anita Anand prepare to meet with a number of allies during the NATO Leaders’ Summit this week”.

Does this idiot really think that the Canadian people want to go to war with Russia?  Probably does as he has no idea or interest in what the Canadian people think, feel, want or need.  His commitment is not to the people of Canada but to another German who wants to rule the world – Klaus Schwab.

So now Canadians support the use of cluster bombs on the Civilians of the Donbas?   Really?  How can this clothes horse with semi decent hair say that the people of Canada support this?   We are a signatory to the banning of these obscene weapons and yet this Montreal drama teacher is willing to hurt yet more children of the Donbas by allowing the use of these horrific weapons by his Nazi comrade. 

We are having troubles in enlisting women and men to our armed forces largely I think because even the desperate who seek any kind of job are reluctant to offer themselves as gun fodder. The idea that Ukraine should become a member of NATO and therefore artificially instigate article 5 and take the west into war with Russia will I believe automatically trigger WW3. Does this immature moron really think that the expanding BRICKS and SCO member countries will stand idly by and not support one of their own?   How naive.

At a time when the world is looking to return to a multipolar society where all countries have a say in how they operate for the interests of their own people, without the fear of retaliation by a country which abides by no laws (international or local) whilst insisting others obey all international laws and agreements, here we are still acting as an apartheid regime supporting other such regimes around the world.  Shame on those we are paying to look after our interests, not their own, and shame on us for allowing it to happen.

Here is an idea for those NATO “leaders” :       Why do you not ask Russia to join NATO as it will soon be on its border anyway , and it would give the paranoid USA a surrounding desperately needed security blanket! But Arney, they are not part of the Atlantic, well neither is Japan.

There is no doubt that our system of governing is totally broken when our MPs (supposedly representing us) in fact swear allegiance to a foreign monarch and in the case of this government to the WEF.  Our sovereignty has joined their fake democracy they all claim for us on the garbage heap of our apartheid history.

What a sad passive and obedient country we have become.

There is a problem in Italy because the trade unions there are against the spending of money to kill residents of the Donbas and they spoke out about it.  Now they understand that it is not possible to say anything that the USA does not like, even if a country is in NATO. So, it appears that 70% of Italians do not support their country sending money or giving armaments to Ukraine but just as in Canada the Italian government is cowed and controlled by the USA.

When will the people of Europe understand just what has been done to them by the USA?

Answer:  When their leaders grow some balls.
